Subject: SteamVR Tracking - Base Station Update

Hi,

We want to share some details about how SteamVR Tracking base stations will be made available to licensees to bundle with their 2017 products. We are not licensing the base station design for 2017 products, so you have two options when it comes to securing a supply of base stations: get them from Valve or get them from HTC. (If you want to purchase mass production quantities of base stations from HTC let us know and we'll make the necessary introduction.)

Valve-manufactured base stations will be available later in the year to all licensees. During 2017 these base stations will be certified for sale in the US and EU, with more countries becoming available in 2018. For planning purposes, we ask that you reply to this email and provide the following information:

An estimated ship date

An estimated number of base stations you'll need

Obviously we won't hold you to either the date or the base station number, but even knowing the order of magnitude will help our own planning and scheduling.

The obvious questions you have now are "When will these base stations be available?" and "How much will these base stations cost?"  We don't have either answer yet, but replying to this thread with your own estimates will let us know you're interested. We'll have more information to share in the spring.

Thanks,

SteamVR Tracking Team
